Subject: Customized Headers

I'm using Pine3.94 and trying to add a Reply-To: header.
I changed the .pinerc config file like this:

  customized-hdrs=Reply-to: [e-mail address]

but no luck.  Am I missing something?

Thanks

Ummm... you may well have succeeded, but just not realised it...

When you add a custom header it doesn't get shown on the message
composition screen by default.  Instead you have to ask to see it (along
with the other items in the set of "rich headers").  You do this by
putting the cursor on any of the visible header lines of the message you
are composing and then typing ^R (Rich Header).

If your Reply-to: field then appears (with a value filled in if you set
one) then you have succeeded.

If you want the header to appear by default on the message composition
screen then you need to set up the "default-composer-hdrs" variable too.
Do read the built-in help about this before changing its value, though.

Finally, I guess you already know this but to prevent confusing others...

If you add a Reply-to: header the syntax is typically _not_:

But either:

	customized-hdrs=Reply-to: [email-masked]

or better:

	customized-hdrs=Reply-to: Mike Brudenell <[email-masked]>

(ie, no square brackets)

Cheers,
